Trademarks

The trade mark is the principal identifier of the goods or services sourced by a business. In all its different types, it allows the entrepreneur to stand out from competitors and generates value for him and his company.

The registration of the trade mark is essential and ensures the trade mark’s owner the best possible protection against imitations and fraud.

From the international perspective, registration is mostly a pre-requisite for enforcement procedures and, in some legal systems, unregistered trade marks do not benefit from any protection.
